Add up 3 mile island, chernobyl, fukushima, then compare to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam, or the number of workers killed mining coal in the last 50 years.
I suppose solar and wind doesnt have those sorts of problems, they just have massive scalability problems.
I don't fear it, it's just dead. The enzymes in the food are dead. It's crap.
What does this even mean? What enzymes? You realize one of the reasons we cook food is to break down proteins etc so that our bodies can more easily take advantage of their components, right?
Its not about difficulty, its about rolling it out across a large user pool without disrupting everything or breaking all of your apps. Do you know how disruptive, application-wise, an upgrade from 2.2 to 3.0 is?
Ergo, the responsibility was on Mr. Snowden to come forth with the information.
That doesnt mean we can just pretend the docs werent top secret. You cant set a precedent that "if you THINK what youre doing is right then you can ignore 'top secret'".
Yes, he generally can, since those are executive branch departments, and the President has pretty much absolute authority over who works in, and what happens in, the executive branch.
Congress can order the NSA to stop and by law they would have to, yes. The president could tell them not to, but then he would be breaking the law.
He put an end to not one, but two wars and refused to go to full out war in Libya
After riding Bush's case about "lacking congressional authorization for Iraq" (Which he HAD), he then deployed the military in Libya and his press secretary announced that UN authorization is even better than congressional authorization.
Tell me how exactly you can defend that hypocrisy? Not that I would have been against a no-fly zone in Libya, but the sheer gall of not even getting Congress to authorize it is astounding.
What Obama really should have said if he was for transparency is "I intend to do whatever I want for the duration of my term and expect noone to hold me accountable."
But in fact it has worked terribly well in the past. In the booming years after WW2 top tax rates were considerably higher in both the USA and western Europe.
The system whereby the government controls production is commonly known as either communism or fascism depending on definitions and what flavor you like.
As I said, they havent worked terribly well in the past.
If you think that the licensing cost of Windows would be significant in comparison to the cost of upgrading 2.2 Linux to 3.x, you either have very little experience in the IT world or you are completely removed from the finance department.
THis is so much nonsense. Windows 2000 is of the same vintage as Linux 2.2. Whens the last time you got a security patch for (or even saw) a non-embedded 2.2 box?
XP is of the same vintage as 2.4, which is already EOL'd and not really maintained; yet XP is STILL maintained.
The idea that MS doesnt support their software for as long as Linux is hogwash.
Columbus – The State of Ohio reissued nearly 340,000 food stamp EBT cards in 2011 – and 17,000 recipients received 10 or more reissued cards, according to an evaluation of the program by Auditor of State Dave Yost.
Basically at one point in time we said there ought to be limits on how much of societies limited resources we dedicate to 1 person.
The problem with this idea is that its not the government's job to determine how much money I earn, or how much someone else pays me. It COULD be the governments job, if we wanted to take another crack at that sort of system, but it hasnt worked terribly well in the past.
Everybody should be able to earn a living wage no matter what kind of job they have.
Communism has been tried. It doesnt work precisely because that statement is not true and cannot be true.
Successful societies operate in a free-market capitalist system where what you earn is tied to the demand for what you do. Someone who does a menial job that requires neither skill nor training should not make the same as someone whose job requires years of training.
More immediately, if your demand was put in place, there would be _0_ jobs for college kids. Who the heck wants to pay for an untrained kid if it has been mandated that you have to pay him a living wage, and I could much more easily employ already-educated 30-somethings? You can see this with Obamacare, where it was mandated that part-time workers over X hours HAD to have healthcare. My adjunct music professor was just complaining last week that everyones hours have been cut, because, SURPRISE, community colleges dont have infinity billion dollars to spend on healthcare.
TL;DR, if you start mandating a super high minimum wage, dont come crying when you discover that unemployment shoots up to 25% like it is in Greece. Look around the world where this crap is tried, it doesnt work.
Corporate environments are generally also not wanting to spend $200 per switch port for all access switches for no other reason than that they can boast about it on slashdot.
10GbE has basically no use-case for 95% of users. Most people are moving to wireless outside of work, and in the corporate environment most things wont be stored on the desktop so 10GbE is moot.

It was supposedly approved by the FISA courts.
Im not sure if it was legal, but if you're not a lawyer I imagine you are also not in a position to determine that.

Does it make any sense to speak of confirmation bias and objectivity when talking about "taste"?

Thats interesting, I didnt realize that re Cisco.
If you think that the licensing cost of Windows would be significant in comparison to the cost of upgrading 2.2 Linux to 3.x, you either have very little experience in the IT world or you are completely removed from the finance department.
The implication is that they sell the things for money and then get a replacement by claiming it is lost, hence the "fraud" title on that article.

Saying "VMWare is Linux" is like saying "OSX is Unix". Each is true in a vague, twisty sort of way.
Really not sure what youre talking about with Cisco, either.
Good conditional formatting. Good cell merge (ie, multiple directions).
Lets start with those-- theres others, but those are the main ones that I hit.
Calc is terrible, and if you think its a replacement for Excel I would guess that your job doesnt involve using either one very much.
Ah yes, the old "I dont like what hes saying so Ill just call him a shill" technique.
Plasma TVs are not "old tech", and theyre definately not less expensive than LCDs.

Thats why you have a few 10GbE uplinks on the access switch, that way everyone generally gets 1gbit at all times.
People dont want 10GbE, they want wireless.
Corporate environments are generally also not wanting to spend $200 per switch port for all access switches for no other reason than that they can boast about it on slashdot.
10GbE has basically no use-case for 95% of users. Most people are moving to wireless outside of work, and in the corporate environment most things wont be stored on the desktop so 10GbE is moot.
No, the next step is to get a second NIC.
